You’ll appreciate that I’m about two years behind with the tale so I didn’t know that.

....now, where did that year go!
Is it finished, Mike?
Or just Finnish?
Not finished Richard but definitely Finnish.
I can only give you a teaser picture for now. Will fill in the gaps as soon as I get time..
It took me a long time to find a cover with the correct paint code

Oooh, exciting. Nice cover!
Thanks Feroz. I am a terrible father in all areas except the Dad joke.

Bought to enjoy for now Thomas. It’s all fresh to me so a new learning curve. A nice driver in good condition. So far so good.

I didn't expect that !!
Yes - a thread on the 356 would be good.
That must be quite a rare car - late 356B T6 in what looks like Smyrna Green ?

You are spot on Andy. It took me quite a while to spell the colour let alone say it. Yes, it’s a 63.
I was looking for something other than silver, red or white/ivory. Quite fancied black as you might expect but I was taken by this colour combination.
Regards
Mike

Excellent thread resurrection, Andy, as I’d been thinking about both Mike’s yellow Targa, <and> his red 911, since I’ve been hoping I can persuade him to do another Sicily trip with me in the next year or two in one of them… and now I learn there’s a 356 to add to that sunshine convoy too!
@mike… So what’s it going to be!?
We’d already agreed the red S, as of course that’s the right car to do a lap with Armando as co-driver…
But now I’m wondering if it should be this lovely coloured 356.
You sure know how to fill the ferry at Genoa!

Loving the 356 Mike, hope you continue to enjoy. I recently went in a similar direction ('59 A, nice old thing not concours car) and am surprised how much I like it.
